I saw the i25 in the fitting cart at Golftown for the first time today, I love the looks. The head shape is perfect and the strips are ghost like and do not put me off at all.

This club is some how some way going to make it into my bag. It was luste at first sight. I will go to Ping for a fitting then verify it outside on the range and course as my club carries Ping and they always have a good selection of demos.

in-between spin for the Anser and G25
the racing stripes are very "ghost like" and not obnoxious at all
sound is improved
I needed to increase loft w it, due to low spin nature of head
stock shafts are incredible for me, but feel they MAY play a tad soft, as I got better numbers w the X over S
didnt feel tip soft, as dispersion was awesome, just over all flex might be a tad soft for me .... still on the fence on what flex id go with, tipped Stiff or straight iin X

I was getting low 2000 for spin and mid teens for launch (13-15)
even on misses it was below 3000 spin
forgiving head IMO for its shape and design

I dont hit a long ball, but on flight scope I managed to see 3-4 / 10 over the 300 bill range (not carry)

I like them A LOT
LOVE my current set up, but really like the i25 line

I own the g25 and hit the I25 last night for a while at golf town.I hit the 55 and 65 g stiff shaft and I believe they are 45 and a quarter inch in length instead of the 45 and three quarters of the g25.
I like the looks and shape of the I 25 ,spin and launch angle a bit lower than g25.i play both with a 9.5 head.
I still prefer the g25 ,just something about hitting the sweet spot on the g25 head that I wasn't able to duplicate with the I 25 and a bit more forgiving on miss hits.

I'm looking forward to trying this club. It's gonna have to be one heck of a driver to knock my anser out of the bag. But if the performance and forgiveness are the same as my anser and it has the sound and feel of the I20 then i'll definitely be getting one.

Typically im in the 103-106 range, but all winter it has been more like 108-111
Seem to have picked uo quite a bit of club head speed
Also been training hard the last 18 mnths and working on mobility/flexibility ... So i think this is why its up

I hit I25 a couple days ago and can't stop thinking about it, I'm glad I didn't purchase g25 and waited, g25 is more forgiving but i25 has plenty and I like the shape better looks more conventional but with very suttle stripes that I like. Honestly you can't go wrong either way but I'm going i25, and I like pwr shafts better than tfc

I am sure this is better than my current 910 D3 but not sure how it relates as I am just starting to look at launch monitor data before I upgrade my driver. How do these #'s look? Any areas to look on improving?

I play the i25 9.5 pwr65. I dont have any trackman numbers or anything, but I swing right at 100-105. Ill carry the ball 240ish right now in 40 degree weather and end up with around a 270 yard drive. Cant wait until it heats up and I gain distance back.

The i25 is a pleasure to hit, in fact, its the only one of my 3 drivers that I can work right to left without drastic variations in my swing.

I have both the G25 and i25. I was able to go up in loft on the i25 from 8.5 to 9.5. I am using the stock PWR 65 Tour X at 45" in the i25 and the G25 I was using a Fuel TS 60 X at 44.5". I like the look, sound, and feel of the i25 better. I find the i25 more forgiving on toe hits which is my miss as well, it just turns over a little vs a hard over draw. I play a fade so when I miss on the toe I do not want it turning over too hard since I setup down the left edge. So far this club has been the best driver I have owned.

The sound of the G25 is a turn off for me. I'd like to see how the i25 compares to my RBZ; it's difficult to fathom a driver that out performs the original RBZ driver for me.

This... ^^^ I bagged the G25 last season. It spins a it much for me, but very straight. I ended up selling it because I amassed a bunch of medical bills from trying to fix my ruptured ear drums after each use. I hit Ping drivers well, so I hope the sound is much improved. I'm on the fence between the SLDR and i25 wrt which driver I'm most interested in...

All the aftermarket shafts you've been through and you're that happy with the PWR 65 Tour??

Yes. I have had and still have a lot of different shafts. JW suggested I go with it and he was right. Daniel Chopra is playing the same shaft. It is solid.

I have an ahina stiff I used in my anser (now in my G25) and I actually like the pwr65 stiff much more.

Current setup:

9.5 (set to 9) G25 w/ahina stiff - since the head is higher spin and launch is higher, I use this on short urban courses or mountain/links type courses.
9.5 i25 w/pwr65 - I can use this just about anywhere; its my go-to club
8.5 anser (set to 9) w/stock G25 stiff shaft - I use this at just about any course along the east coast - Wilmington to Myrtle to Charleston - where there is a LOT of heavy wind. Trajectory is low and the ball runs for a good 40 yards after carry.

Yes, Im lucky enough to afford 3 drivers and I have a habit of recon-ing courses before I go play. That being said, Im done buying drivers for the foreseeable future.

TomJones,
Couple questions. How would you compare the Anser against the G25 in terms of forgiveness? Anser much harder to hit? Would you stay the same loft going from G25 to Anser?

2 very different worlds and on opposite ends of the spectrum.

The Anser is a little harder to hit I suppose, and mishits often end up short which I think is a good thing. Better to be 150 yards short of the hole in the 2nd cut than 80 yards short and in the trees.

G25 is much more forgiving.

So, understand that when I bought the Anser last year I had a steep swing and as a result, a very high ball flight. I went with the Anser to decrease that ball flight while working with my swing coach to flatten out my swing. Now the Anser is barely high enough which is why I use the G25 stock stiff shaft in it now.

Oddly enough I love hitting the i25, especially with the alignment aid, but Ive had some days where the ball flight has gone a bit knuckleball on me. Other days Ive been hitting into the spring winds which are all kinds of crazy here in NC, so I try to reserve judgement. I think the i25 is much more sensitive to where ball contact is on the face. I notice some of my better drives coming from at or even below the mid center line, but I think Im just fighting a bad swing right now. Time for a lesson to tweak the swing. One thing for sure is that the ball carries just as far regardless of a draw or fade. Its the perfect club for me, I just need to dial it in and thats on me, not the club.

I loaned out my G25 about 1.5 months after I bought it to a friend of mine. Before I loaned it out I noticed all the ball marks were near the very top center of the club head - maybe 1/4 inch from the top, which then made me realize I need to lower my tee height. If I can lower that to a total of about .5 to .75 inch from the top center of the head, I think Ill be good to go and hit every shot ideal to the ball fight I want out of it. It is much harder for me to work the ball draw or fade with the G25, and almost impossible not to hit the club straight.

For total yards, Anser is my longest club, followed by i25, then G25.
For carry, i25 is the longest carry, then Anser, then G25

What do you think the distance difference is between the i25 and g25

Good question right there...^^^^^

The sound of the G25 is a turn off for me. I'd like to see how the i25 compares to my RBZ; it's difficult to fathom a driver that out performs the original RBZ driver for me.

Haven't tried the i25 but take the screw of the back and put some cotton wool in the g25 and its a totally different club, so quiet and still one of the best out there IMO

Did you just use the spike screw trick to get it out? I'm interested in doing this as well to dull mine. I also gave in a picked up an i25 on the BST so I'm going to have a shootout and see which gets the spot in my bag for the season.
